At Peartree Cleaning Services we take our environmental responsibilities very seriously, we understand that our actions today could have a detrimental impact for tomorrow’s generation. Early in 2007 we set out to create a detailed policy which would reflect our corporate goals; the end result was a working document which enables us to procure our goods and services where possible in an environmentally sensitive way.
The key points are as follows:
• We will adopt best practice and play a leading role in developing innovative solutions to environmental issues facing our sector.
• We will conduct our activities in full knowledge of and compliance with environmental regulations.
• We will integrate environmental considerations and objectives into all our business decisions.
• We will minimise consumption of natural resources and wastage of materials as far as economically practicable.
• We will establish environmental objectives and targets and measure performance against them.
• We will encourage awareness and commitment to improved environmental performance amongst our people, our suppliers and our clients.
• We will encourage our clients to think about how their businesses affect the environment and throughout our business, will provide professional advice that is consistent with this aim.
• Each Peartree employee and each supplier retained by Peartree is responsible for adherence to the principles of this policy.
